  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2016:0505 advisory.

    Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and a clean, pragmatic
    design. It focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
    principle.

    Security Fix(es):

    * An open-redirect flaw was found in the way Django's django.utils.http.is_safe_url() function filtered
    authentication URLs. An attacker able to trick a victim into visiting a crafted URL could use this flaw to
    redirect that victim to a malicious site. (CVE-2016-2512)

    * A timing attack flaw was found in the way Django's PBKDF2PasswordHasher performed password hashing.
    Passwords hashed with an older version of PBKDF2PasswordHasher used less hashing iterations, and thus
    allowed an attacker to enumerate existing users based on the time differences in the login requests.
    (CVE-2016-2513)

    Red Hat would like to thank the Django project for reporting these issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
